You only notice the ones that win
But there were several which did not
And if you look at percentages
The numbers wouldn't be so hot!
It took three years before I had
A victory to my name
And every month, (barring just a few)
I keep on playing the game.
When Jeff announced the winners' list
I was truly astonished
To be so high up on it
Was more than I'd dreamed or wished
There are superb writers on this site
The competition is way up high
It's made me a better writer
To win, or just to try.
I salute Writing Dot Com
and those who run the contest
I salute everyone who participates
And strives to be the best.
To everyone who has reviewed me
And helped me, so much, to grow
I'm very, very grateful
More than you'll ever know.
